Autoclave tape or chemical strips that change color when exposed to the proper temperatureand pressure conditions are used. This provides immediate visual confirmation.
Temperature, pressure, and time are recorded during the autoclave cycle using built-in gauges, digital sensors and printer.
Regular calibration and maintenance of the autoclave ensure its proper function, including checking seals, door locks, and safety valves.
Spore strips or vials containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus are placed in the autoclave. After the cycle, the strips or vials are incubated. If there is no bacterial growth, sterilization was effective
